If your still on Narco, I have some things to add to your shopping list.

Brochure I saw said it was the 5-lug Jeep pattern.

It is, but you can change those out for about $100 to match damn near any bolt pattern.

The plan is to swap out to matching hubs and use same rim and tire combo as Taco. If I can't get the hubs to match they do sell adapters which I'm not a big fan of but they appear to be pretty solid.

I always liked that idea. Worst case you run through your spares you "part out" the trailer after parking it and gain 2 more spares.

Bingo! I think its a solid idea as well. Now to just get the damn thing so I can add a few touches to it before October.

6 months should be safe one would think.... Regardless I'd be sure that bad boy was on my credit card just in case things go south.

That's Mr Asshole to you
Plus the points from the card would be a plus.

Yeah I used the card and will pay it off next month and collect points.

Once I got out of debt I started to realize why they say the rich get richer. Ive been doing that the past few years and I'm amazed at the amount of money the credit card companies give me for free. Got hundreds and hundreds back just from the work on my teeth the past year.
Makes me wonder how that "cash Back" effects taxes and income. I write off my medical for the full amount, but in reality I get 2% back from the card company...

Yeah, we have a southwest airlines card and the points it collects pay for most the trips we take that we have to fly to. I have a personal card that gives me 5% back on Amazon Prime purchases! Score! So I just use it and then pay it. I'll pay it a couple times a month to ensure I'm not incurring any interest fees.

same here with the multiple payments per month. Feels so much better having $$ in the bank vs being in CC debt like I was the majority of my adult life. Just changing some simple spending habits and cutting out wasteful spending made a world of difference for me. Now if I could just stop smoking I could bank another 4k a year.

You order a complete trailer kit minus wheels?
@blake any bets this this will be delivered before yours is built? Your $1,000 does not include the time and opportunity cost.

I did. No sense buying rims and tires I don't want.

Are you setting up the trailer for the RTT or keep it on the truck?

RTT on trailer. Looking at CVT or Tepui. Looking at the ones 72" wide that are ruggedized and in gray. Downside is price and they are both on backorder and have been for a while.
